Foreign Beggars ramping up the scattershot percussion and giving it their inimitably techy makeover. Fellow Dutch producer Posij rewires ‘My World’ slowing down the rapid-fire rhythms to make space for the thick bass smudges that collide through the track.Ĭurrent Value delivers a re-envisioning of ‘Soul Purge’ ft. NZ production duo The Upbeats also take it on flipping it with jarring bass swells and a devastatingly swung drum stomp. New school leader LA-based producer Kill The Noise takes on ‘Diplodocus’ warping the original’s morphing bassline into a writhing many-headed beast and re-enforcing the drums with rattling breaks. Munchi takes on ‘Tommy’s Theme’ with his ‘Fear Is Weakness’ remix injecting it with a darker overtone, ripping apart the original and reconstructing it as a glitchy sonic torpedo while Loadstar use the cinematic bed of instrumentation to lull you before unleashing a rude and techy drum and bass roller. Expansive, progressive and deadly, these tracks are a powerful statement from the trio that heralds great things to come. The addition of ‘Tommy’s Theme’ and ‘Could This Be’ act as the perfect accompaniment, bridging the original material while at the same time showcasing the evolution in their productions. Two years on from the album’s release and it still sounds as fresh, vital and visceral as it did upon its release, losing none of the impact and stop-you-in-your-tracks brilliance that had people enamored first time around.


The deluxe re-issue of the album on mau5trap will feature the album in its entirety along with the addition of recent single ‘Tommy’s Theme’ and ‘Could This Be’, as well as a selection of upfront remixes from a collection of friends, affiliates and like-minded contemporaries who represent some of the most forward-thinking producers working in electronic music at the moment. Aptly, it was the release of this album that led them to Deadmau5 who highlighted it as his favourite album of the year, so instigating a fruitful creative relationship that given birth to singles ‘Tommy’s Theme’ and ‘Could This Be’ this year alone. The release of Noisia’s debut artist album ‘Split The Atom’ on their own Vision Recordings imprint in 2010 immediately made an ineffaceable mark on electronic music, etching their name amongst the most important production outfits of our generation.
